Vanilla Bake Shop
Ah, cupcakes, small fistfuls of baked goodness dressed in mile-high frosting.
Cupcakes are not news. They are ubiquitous, big business, and in Los Angeles, the center of a frosting lawsuit. Apparently “circles” have been trademarked….
Given the hoopla, discussing these little snacks is not exactly breaking news, but I can’t keep silent about Vanilla Bake Shop anymore. Last year I received a dozen of their cupcakes for my birthday and was amazed –not only by my ability to eat twelve in one sitting–but by each cupcake’s rich flavor, incredible moistness, and frosting good enough to roll around in. (Okay, that part might be an over-share.)
Vanilla Bake Shop’s artistry does not stop at cupcakes. Their Parisian macaroons favorably compare to the definitive version served at Angelina’s Tearoom on the rue de Rivoli, and Vanilla’s clever dessert shots cry out to be included at your next party.
For a diverse line of delicious desserts, skip the line at Sprinkles and head out to Santa Monica for a fistful of cake.
